Minimum $200 for the system. You might get another $15-20 for the game.

Just sell the games.
Ahhh!i traded. But I'm suspicious
The box has a slight rip. The sticker that seals the box looks old and perhaps like it's been opened. But likely it's just somehow really old

Haha, yes.
I feel old.
do you remember where?
Most stores that sold game consoles?
I got one at launch from Toy R Us for $529 + tax
EDIT: The version bundled with Virtua Fighter 1 to be specific.
EDIT2:
Almost everywhere. Most of the game shopping I did back in the day would have been Walmart, Toys R Us and local game stores, which all stocked it. (No EB here back then).
I'm curious, what's the question/issue that emerged on your Twitter feed?
(EDIT: I think I bought mine at Walmart with my brother's staff discount -- I pretty much had to have one after seeing VF2 in person and after they cut the price)

Ok so set everything up... I guess it's new. The box inside the outer box (the white one) didn't have a seal. Was it supposed to? I just opened it and pulled out the content and it all seems new

I'm kind of startled by how wrong he is in almost every one of his tweets.
Yeah, the only sticker was one that connected the thin Uncharted 4 branded sleeve to the big, white cardboard box. That white box had no stickers.

Any deals on Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition (XB1) that you guys are aware of? Was hoping to get it in the $10 range.
I clearly remember Canadian Tire having clearance sales for the CD and 32X games to make room for it.
Yeah bought my Saturn at EB at Fairview mall when it came out. Then I returned it a week later, as I only had the demo disc that came with it and the only game I really wanted was VF.
And yeah, Radioshack, CT, etc back in the day had those systems set up for you to play at the store. The Radioshack at Eatons usually had a TG16. There used to be a video game store outside of Eatons where East Side Marios is I think? They'd have systems set up there, almost like a bootleg arcade.

gonna ask this here:
I restored my data to my 500 GB HDD.
but then I installed my 2 TB HDD. I didn't wipe the 500 GB HDD.
Can I wipe that 500 GB HDD as external storage, on a computer? Or do I need to do it on the PS4?

When I started working at my Blockbuster we still had the Sega Saturn rental units. I think a couple eventually were thrown out before I could get my hands on them. Ugh.
I ended up buying one for $75 anyway.
I love my 49". No issue with the black level for me.

When I was looking for a TV and was interested in that one, I actually bookmarked the best buy page for that model and would basically check it every few hours. It took ages for it to come back in stock. And whenever it would, it would only be like 10-15 units. Same thing for the 49 inch ks8000 which is almost always out of stock as well though not as often as the 43 inch x800d
What the hell. How old is that kid.

I got the VF1 console near launch from Sears. It was $519. Loved that system.
Thanks man needed a second guitar and had not bought the expansion yet 😄😄😄

Question for the computer guys. I was playing a game last night and my screen became a bunch of lines. Shut it down, removed my video card, and restarted.
Now that I've identified the culprit, is there any way to fix this (I'm not baking it), or should I be hoping for Boxing Day deals on new video cards?
(It's out of warranty but I got 4 good years out of it.)

What's your budget? Boxing Day hasn't been worth waiting for the last couple years and there are actually some stellar deals this week on the higher end cards
Yea it would probably be a significant upgrade over my current TV regardless.
That's probably what's happening with this, too. They are probably restocking for online only and selling out really fast. Problem is I can't really check during the day while at work, unless maybe I'll have to use my phone to buy it, ughhh.
Even if you bake it or use a heatgun, the problem will come back eventually. Start looking for deals.

I'll probably get something mid range since my CPU is the bottleneck now (i3). A 1060 maybe? Haven't been following the newest stuff.

Anyone remember the name of this store? I'm nostalgic towards it, I remember they had a Neo Geo cabinet too.

Deal?
Fairy Fencer F: Advent dark Force https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0194M6C0G/ref=gbps_img_s-3_edbe_63ce8011?pf_rd_p=e12789af-47d7-4944-b850-55f9ad5dedbe&pf_rd_s=slot-3&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_i=gb_main&pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_r=MXKFBW35KWGAPFDHH4SM
And
Uncharted 4 special ed https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B014QQBJRG/ref=gbps_img_s-3_edbe_85beff1d?pf_rd_p=e12789af-47d7-4944-b850-55f9ad5dedbe&pf_rd_s=slot-3&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_i=gb_main&pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_r=MXKFBW35KWGAPFDHH4SM
are both in the amazon lightning deals starting at around 5:30 pst, don't expect "good" sales but realistically maybe 20%, Uncharted could be worth it for anyone that skipped it and wants to get the season pass for the story dlc

That's a pretty solid offer for a 4Gig card. Can spend $100 more for an 8gig version or a 1060. I'll look around a bit to see if I notice any stellar deals.
EDIT: Scratch that. Grab this 480
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product...b-red-dragon-video-card-axrx-480-4gbd5-3dhdv2
EDIT 2: Neither of those are really on sale, but they're solid if you're going to buy now. The Powercolor 480 is apparently loud.
I think they're talking about Video Connections.
I beat Street Fighter II with Dhalsim on their arcade cabinet.
Yeah, VC was it. Should reopen Funland. There was a time or two where I bought games at some factory by Jane & 7 I think. Had a massive sheet with a title list, just check off what you want.
Pretty sure I bought my Gameboy at Consumers.
This just reminds me that every department store I've ever liked in Canada has died :O
Eatons, always preferred it to the Bay... my local mall had both and I remember in the early 80s they had a Vectrex machine on demo at their electronics counter. But even as I got older, I liked it.
Woodwards, as well. I remember them because of the TG16 reference... pretty sure my local Woodwards store had TG16 demo station (and maybe a Genesis, too).
And yes, as I have professed in this thread before, I really liked Target Canada. But it's hard to blame Target's demise on consumers alone... seems like the whole expansion project was terribly run.
They were stupid enough to announce in detail their plans years ahead of coming here so their competitors (mainly Walmart) knew where to target their own expansions.

Thanks. My dead card is a Powercolor so I'm a bit hesitant on getting another one haha.
Looked around a bit more. Ncix has a gigabyte g1 1060 for $299 but it's only the 3gig version. You'd probably be fine but I'm reluctant to recommend a 3 gig card
And I've had cards of every brand die
. Loud is pretty unacceptable though even for cheap.PROh1bited

Picked up the guitar Rivals bundle.
Is anybody looking for a Rivals code? I'm giving one away when I get it delivered. Xbox version.

Best Buy had them in stock every other Tuesday, so may get some more in this Tuesday. Aside from that....

Fairy Fencer is 47.70 for %40 off
Uncharted SE is $64.29 a surprisingly nice 36% off makes this a lot more appealing to folks that slept on uncharted 4.
Much better deals than I was expecting.
** My bad seems the SE doesn't include the story dlc? Weird
